I've been testing the move to vBulletin, and I've discovered that the passwords all break during the import.
There's a sound technical reason for this: I don't store your password anywhere so I don't know what it is.
I only store a hash (one-way encryption) of the password, and for extra security mix in a secret piece of information into the hash. All fine and dandy, but it means that when vBulletin add their secret sauce it comes out all wrong.
So when the move to vBulletin happens, you won't gain access to the site unless you use the "Reset your password" functionality, which means being sent an email.
SO MAKE SURE YOU EMAIL ADDRESS IS CORRECT ON THIS PAGE:

Oh, and I've had to turn off the Notify extension in Vanilla because a bug in it has surfaced with the latest update of the server software. So email notifications are currently unavailable.
